When her sleazy ex cheated on her, Alice turned to her best friend Zack for support. Her head tells her never to love again, but in the arms of Zack, her heart has other ideas. And so does Zack. How can he tell her how much he wants her, when one night of passion could destroy the friendship of a lifetime?
When Susan was in high school, she never really liked to read, but when she was a child she did. Go figure. It wasn’t until after she graduated that she caught the reading bug. Susan had to go to a book store to sell off her text books and a particular book caught her eye. This book stood out from the other second-hand books because it had a pink cover. It was only a couple of dollars, so she thought, “Why not?” But she couldn't quite bring herself to read her bargain book. It had a pink cover!
Then, after it tormented her for three weeks, she finally picked it up and... could not put it down. Susan finished it in two days!
After Google-ing the author and found that she’d written a heap of books for Harlequin Mills & Boon as well as Single Titles. So of course Susan had to buy all her other books! And when she realised that there were other Mills & Boon authors out there, She just had to search out their books, too. And she loved them!
Susan got a ton of inspiration from those books. But the most important thing she realized was that she wanted to write those books, too. She wanted to be a Paranormal author! Because let's face it, who doesn't like things that go bump in the night?
A tale of best friends to lovers. Come and join Alice and Zack, on their short journey of lust an passion. It may be short but it definitely was worth the read. Add to your tbr list ;) xx
This is a short story so not a lot of character development. Zack and Alice are old friends and it seems Alice has some history that makes her mistrust men. Zack has been trying to overcome it for years and this is the moment when he's decided to try all or nothing.
It's quite a hot read with some robust language but the characters are sweet and the friends to lovers romance believable if a little rushed due to the format.
Quite a nice little quicky in more ways than one. This is a new Australian author so I will be interested to see how she develops.
A lovely read with a good, solid message. Lovers are friends first and always. Ms Child shows promise as a new voice in romance. I'm looking forward to what she comes up with next.
First, I want to say HOT cover! This was a quick, cute read. It was too quick to form any attachment to the characters but I still enjoyed it. I would give it 3.5 stars.
this is a short read and very easy to get into, best friends who are in love with each other but one scared to ruin the friendship, great how it all happens and would love to read more
Zack sounds like an awesome guy....in touch with who he is, becomes across as a strong character, happy in his skin.....in love with his best friend....ya know the normal stuff.
Alice his best mate. Bright, character is well developed, and sounds perfect for Zack.
Its a good little read this one. Very sweet, and could be an everyday senario. Susan child, one to follow in the romance genre!
More Than Friends by Susan Childs is quick read, but I loved it. I loved that this was from Zack's point of view. Not many books are from the man's point of view and I appreciated that this one was. It showed how much Zack wanted Alice and that he was willing to fight for her. I would love it if there was more written about Zack and Alice. I will be looked for more Susan Childs' books.
Wow a really great quick read. Susan you did a fantastic job on best friends that turn into lovers. Bit sad that its finished would have loved more. Can't wait to rad your next book
I would have loved to have had more to it but it was a great read. It was very sexy and I love how it played out. Can't wait for more like this from Susan!!
I never really put a bad review online... But this for me was a little too fast of a read for my taste. I prefer my stories with a bit more to detail. With that sad it wasnt a bad story
This was a great quick read. Zack is in love with his best friend. Has been for years. He's about to do something about it. Alice has loved Zack for years, but after being cheated on and seeing the after-effects of her father cheating on her mother, she's afraid to love and doesn't want to lose Zack's friendship. This short is the steamy tale of them taking that chance at love.
I loved the way this started! It caught my attention on the first page. Such a great and steamy short read. I wanted more of it. I loved that they were friends and he was her rock in the end. The chemistry between the characters was lustworthy.
This book was written well but rushed just as I was getting into the storyline and the characters it rushed into something else I feel the book needed more to develop into something great.
Firstly thank you to Susan for giving me the opportunity to read this story. I was hooked from the moment I opened and I was a little upset when it finished. I know that it was only a short read but when I got to the end I was hoping that when I flipped over to the next page that there was going to be some hidden pages to continue reading. I thoroughly enjoyed Zack and Alice's journey from friends to lovers, and am looking forward to reading more than words to see how their story continues.
Best friends Alice and Zack love from afar but Alice can't commit for fear he won't be satisfied with just her. Zack’s past with women scares her despite his reassurances that she’s the only one he wants. They must get past her pain to be together.
MORE THAN FRIENDS is a interesting tale with well-drawn characters and a good backstory, well-told from both the main characters points of view. The reader gets a great feeling for the present time with the characters. The plot is simple, fitting the length of the story well.
Unfortunately there is a lot of story that goes untold due to the length of the book. The rich past that Zack and Alice obviously have goes untold and I would have loved to hear more about them before the story started, both together and separate. MORE THAN FRIENDS is an easy to read story that only took me an hour to read and would be a good read if you have only a short time. However, the story is more of an introduction to a longer tale than a standalone book and leaves me wanting more.
I very much enjoyed this short erotic story of two very close friends who try to find their way to being much more than friends. Alice had poor role models with her parents and had a relationship breakup that Zack successfully helped her recover from. Zack is determined to show Alice how to love and to not be afraid of her feelings.
Excellent writing, interesting and believable story of friends helping friends to overcome fears and hurt.
The book was gifted by the Author for an honest review.
A very short read. This three scene book is more like a prologue to what could be a great read. The plot, friends to lovers, can easily lead to a whole lot of different directions if the author where to continue the story. Even though it was a short 15 minute read I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars because it was well written with just enough information for the story to make since. The chemistry between the 2 main characters is believable, while the hot & steamy scenes will make you fan yourself.
wow wholly hot short story! hot hot steamy. its about friends who decide to take it to the next level of friendship! thanks for giving me a chance to read this book!
Cute but way too short. I don't mind a good short story but I need them to feel complete. This story was so short it didn't give you time to get invested in the characters. It is definitely not one you will remember two days after reading it. If you want a book that you can read completely within an hour or two, this is the book for you though. It isn't bad though, don't misinterpret me...
Zack has been in love with his best friend, Alice, for years, and has finally plucked up the courage to tell her.
Alice has also loved Zack for years, but she’s terrified to take it to the next level due to her parents’ history, and she can’t bear the thought of her life without Zack in it.
A little deception by Zack forces Alice’s hand, and finally tempts her to take a leap of faith.
What an amazing read by author Susan Child. Although the story was short, it was so hot I thought my kindle would burst to flames. Zack and Alice are best friends, but secretly in love with each other. Soon, they find themselves unable to resist each other. Will Alice let her guard down and follow her heart? Or will she let her fears of her mother's heartbreak keep her from finding her happiness?
Zack and Alice have been best friends for years. Now Zack wants to take their relationship into the next phase. Will he lose the girl he's always loved or will he keep her?? Great short read for filling the gap on a train ride. Extremely hot and sexy Well done Susan
This wasn't a full story, but that was okay. It gives you just enough to know what's happening and why. Smoking chemistry between the main characters. Even as a short, it ends with a feeling of a HEA. I hope for a full story with these two. This was just enough to make me want to know the full history.
This is a cute short story about friends turing into lovers. Zack has been in love with Alice since high school. Alice saw what her father's cheating did to her mom so she has stayed away from relationships. Finally Zack gets the nerve to let her know how he feels. Will she admit to her feelings for him or will things go down in flames.
Gifted a copy for an honest review. Very fast and short read. Zack always wanted Alice. Alice always trusted Zack. This is a hot read about friends to lovers. Sometimes your best friend is "the one" for you. If you want a really fast and hot read, I mean let's get down to business read then you need to pick this up.
